How well a knife performs, is going to boil down to the makers, more so than the materials. Blade design, geometry, and heat treatment, matter much more than blade or handle material-when it comes down to performance. If you like a knife, and it works for you, dont pay any mind to the steel chasers. Just enjoy it. Any knife of solid build and design, will out perform our own skills.
There are people in the world, who you could give a cheap butter knife to, and leave butt hole naked in the middle of the Amazon, and they could live the rest of their lives, thriving-not just surviving. Whereas all of us, with a gun, ammo, a Maxpedition pack full of the top of the line survival gear, and any number of knives of our choosing, would look like a sorry sack o' shyt after a few days (if we lasted that long)
